The Dem playbook
The Hill newspaper gives us a peek at the Democratic playbook for the Roberts hearings. Below are the attack assignments for the Democratic members of the Committee:
Kennedy -- civil rights
Leahy -- Bybee torture memo
Biden -- privacy, personal autonomyand the 9th Amendment
Kohl -- Property rights and civil liberties
Feinstein -- "judicial activism" and Roe vs. Wade
Feingold -- limits of executive powers
Schumer and Durbin have wisely refused to show their hand.

...and the US will have to suffer through generations of the Kennedy clan....they reproduce like rabbits.
Vitter has to get his story straight... let me go get past talk show clips for media. Rep. of course. Landrieu got a hold of him. He'd better finish strong or he's toast.
Ouch - that's gonna leave a mark! LOL!
That right...Teddy rarely gets to be center stage on tv....Very little face time comes his way.
After listening to Kennedy, I have Excedrin headache #1000.
You could tell Roberts was PISSED, but he very calmly but FORCEFULLY told Kennedy he was misrepresenting his position and the Reagan Administration's and then set the record straight. To me, it was a brilliant performance--and Kennedy knows it!
We will be very fortunate to have this man as Chief of SCOTUS!
Even NPR said the Swimmer failed at his questioning.
I ah, ah, ah, Think ah, that is ah, vary ah funny ah!
Roberts back up...........
Even NPR said the Swimmer failed at his questioning.
You know Vitter is still acting like he's not acknowledging that Blanco screwed up. He keeps talking about the slow response but not the lack of preparation.
Yeap, by this afteroon, the swimmer will be all liquored up and ready to go.
Mon Dieu! Look at the number of your post. Now you've done it. Just don't say Schumer's name five times.
Isn't that always the case when it comes to the dems?
Well technically if you are talking size, but I was thinking intellect. :)
He probably nailed her back in college days..
Mad,Disgusting,Vile,Fat,Doesn't like anyone.
One puke bag we can't get rid of fast enough!
Roberts is like a big old cat with a tiny mouse, he has not even broken a sweat yet.
I like your analogy, but I was thinking it was more like a young svelte cat batting around an old, fat blind (as in blind-drunk) rat.
There's really no sport in it.
yeah, Vitter could have done a lot better.
"Foxnews has GWB which is even better."
Yeah. The comments by President Bush and the Iraqi President make Leahy and Kennedy REALLY look like the slugs they are.
